Film Fallout Podcast #96 – The Polka Paradox

The Superbowl is over, but that doesn’t mean that we’re done talking about it. Surprisingly pretty much everyone was talking about the announcement, and subsequent release of, The Cloverfield Paradox on Netflix. So instead of reviewing The Polka King, Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan took aim at the latest entry in the Cloverfield franchise. How does it tie into the previous films? Is it okay that the movie doesn’t explain a lot? Would it have done well with a traditional theatrical release? The Cloverfield Paradox asks a lot of questions and we do our best to tackle them.

But don’t worry, Chris still saw The Polka King so we discuss that. He also saw Jason Momoa’s latest film, Braven, and Dylan finally got to watch The Work. So there are plenty of movies to talk about. We also cover a lot of the Superbowl trailers, and Uma Thurman’s frightening Tarantino experience; as well as the usual Blu-ray releases, including our pick of the week: Elevator to the Gallows.

We aren’t quite sure what we’re going to review next week but expect at least some Fifty Shades Freed talk.
